NEW YORK, April 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In Canada, pet food is a $1.7 billion per year market, with nearly a billion spent each year on dog food around in the country. With over 38 percent of Canadian households having a cat, and 35 percent having a dog, there are a lot of pet families on the search for trustworthy pet food options. One company, Hound & Gatos Pet Foods Corporation, has been awarded “Most Trusted Pet Foods” three years in a row, making many wonder what it is that sets them apart and makes them so trusted in a sea of pet food options.
“Not all pet foods are equal, and the more you know about them the more that becomes apparent,” explains Will Post, founder and CEO, Hound & Gatos Pet Foods Corporation. “Most people are looking to feed their pet, but they don’t realize that a lot of pet junk and unhealthy foods come in nice packaging from companies with large marketing budgets.”
Increasingly, people are beginning to understand that what they feed their pets makes a big difference in their health. Whether through the news of so many pet food recalls or that consumers are learning more about what to look for in terms of ingredients, consumers are making a more well thought-out choice when it comes to their purchases. There are numerous reasons why Hound & Gatos has been awarded for the last three years by “TruthAboutPetFood.com”, including:
- Having access to the information consumers need and want is key. At Hound & Gatos they provide people easy access to the information regarding where their ingredients come from, what’s in the food, and why they avoid many products that other companies don’t. They want people to know more about the pet food that they are purchasing, so they can make informed decisions and help keep their pets healthy.
- Often times, people are convinced as to what type of pet food to purchase simply based off of the nice packaging or the advertising they have seen. Yet this tells them nothing about the quality of the product. The quality always comes down to the ingredients and where they come from. Hound & Gatos only uses the best quality ingredients, which are 100 percent meat, always sticking to a very limited ingredient panel. They avoid other common pet food ingredients that people should avoid, including generic livers, carrageenan, chemicals, unidentifiable additives, and preservatives.
- Hound & Gatos always provides DNA testing results, which prove the origins of the animal protein. This is something that other pet food companies do not engage in. They do this to ensure accurate DNA accuracy.
- While many pet food companies are simply out to increase sales, Hound & Gatos is committed to helping people have access to high quality options that are healthier for their cats and dogs.
“We have been awarded the Most Trusted Pet Foods award three years in a row because we are committed to providing excellence in the pet food industry,” adds Post. “We know what should be in a healthy, safe, and high quality pet food, and we stick to it. We never compromise to make more money or be able to obtain ingredients that may be out of stock. We are focused and unwavering in this field.”
Additionally, the company has won the “Top Approved Pet Foods” three years in a row by Whole Dog Journal.
Hound & Gatos Pet Foods are 100 percent meat, with all their ingredients originating from the USA. They also do not ever allow fluoridated water to be used in their products. Along with being the only pet food company willing to allow DNA testing to confirm the source of their ingredients, they also provide proof of not obtaining ingredients from Asia, despite there being shortages of ingredients in the industry.
Hound & Gatos Pet Foods strives to help owners obtain the best quality products for their pets, and they deliver with 100 percent animal protein with no fillers backed by an exceptional customer satisfaction guarantee.
